  In a rural town? Metropolitan areas have always been well served.

  India towns/villages dont have reliable electricity. So not sure what is the point of bringing up India.

    Similarly Netherlands is not even as big as most provinces/states of the bigger countries where internet wiring challenges exists. So not sure what is the point of bringing up the Netherlands.

  In Poland I pay ~$15/month for symmetrical 1/1Gbps fiber and there's even possibility for 10/10Gbps at $25, but I can't imagine making use of it. It's not available everywhere, but it covers a lot of smaller cities, so I'm happy that at least that's one thing that is done correctly here.

    $25 for 10/10Gbps is crazy cheap. If I were to get 10/10Gbps it would be $250/month. This is using a municipal-run service provider (not particularly common here in the USA) that offers their 1/1Gbps for the relatively fair price of $70/month for a new customer. I pay $50 due to signing up in 2019. I have no idea how Poland is pulling off such low costs but props for doing so. Other nations should take note.
